Dear Ex-wife, Marry Me novel Chapter 33

Ian paused his document scanning, his brows furrowing as confusion flickered in his eyes.

Maureen smirked, "Didn't Ryan even tell you?"

She knew Ryan was somewhat afraid of Ian, but she didn't expect him to keep his girlfriend a secret from his cousin.

"That boy always claims he's too busy for a girlfriend. If you appreciated that girl's design, she must be alright, and she's pretty cute too."

"You mean Penny?" Ian furrowed his brows. Wasn't she already married?

Maureen chuckled, "Exactly. I'm actually quite pleased with Ryan's choice of girlfriend this time. Since you'll be working together, do me a favor and don't make her life difficult. She might just become part of the family."

Ian's expression turned frosty. "Don't worry, I'll behave."

Maureen departed, with Ian accompanying her to his private elevator. Suddenly, she stopped as if remembering something. "Ian, now that Ryan's situation is sorted out, you should consider your own. We barely know this Ms. Pennyfeather; we don't even know what she looks like. But if your grandfather likes her, she must have some merits. Why not try spending some time with her?"

"There's no chance of anything happening."

Knowing Ian well, Maureen understood he was serious, so she put her sunglasses back on. "Take care of your health; don't skip meals all the time. Your stomach issues are becoming serious."

A resigned look crossed Ian's face. "I know."

After bidding farewell to Maureen, he returned to his office. Jeff arrived with a cup of coffee, witnessing Ian's icy expression and couldn't help but ask, "Trouble with Mr. Elston again?"

Ian snorted, "Not exactly trouble. He's just infatuated with a married woman."

Jeff's lips twitched. He knew Ryan was a playboy, but falling for a married woman was a new low.

Ian's expression darkened. Ryan may be young and foolish, but what was the woman's excuse? Didn't she always claim to love her husband?
